#BIRTHDAY: Sandro from Cyprus is 28 today That “missing” contest from 2020 will always be an enigma. “Who would have won?”, “How would the hosts have done?”, and “Who would have been the surprise non-qualifier?” are all questions we’ve asked since that time. One of that Class of […]
#BIRTHDAY: Leonora from Denmark is 26 today Sometimes, what you need to get ahead is a really good prop. It could be because you don’t think your song can manage without one, or it could be to enhance an already top-draw song. But it’s the choice of prop […]
#BIRTHDAY: Baby Doll is 62 today Being on first can be that double-edged sword. You get your performance out of the way (meaning more time at the bar), you get a nice fresh audience, and who knows, people have won from the front before. Casting your mind back […]
#BIRTHDAY: Senhit from San Marino is 45 today We’re looking at a country that tries today. And it’s a country that’s become associate with one act even though a number of others have tried. Some were even from that same country. But the Most Serene Republic hat is […]

#BIRTHDAY: Nicki French has a birthday today Those decades keep on coming, and it’s the turn of that which some call the ‘noughties’. It’s an odd term, so we’ll just call it the first decade of the 21st Century. Sure, you could argue that today’s song was still […]
#BIRTHDAY: Chiara from Malta is 48 today Do you remember the 1990s? It was a fine decade when our favourite TV show moved in the general direction of getting bigger and bigger. A certain country returned in that decade, after a 16 year absence. Can you guess which […]
#BIRTHDAY: Brinck from Denmark is 50 today Does a well-known songwriter help to get a song votes? Eurovision is a songwriter’s competition after all, and a singer’s performance can make or break a song. Back in 2009, our friends in Denmark talked Ronan Keating into co-writing a song […]
